City Place Cafe

I have been a loyal customer at City Place Cafe for over 8 years and it's just as good now as it was when I first visited. I have gotten a variety of items over the years for lunch and breakfast and everything is always so good. Some favorites are: the napoli panini, the Italian panini, the rustic sandwich, San Franciscan, and the buffalo chicken wrap. Their breakfast sandwiches are also very tasty. The staff is very friendly and helpful. You order at one desk and pay at the front, and can select any drinks or chips to go along with your meal. They also have a decent amount of outdoor seating, and there are also stools inside.

If you're near Farragut Square, this cafe is great for a quick breakfast.The person working the counter is super friendly and knows his regular customers. It's always a good sign when locals are going in and don't need to order. I ordered a coffee and the Za'atar Avocado Toast. Coffee was good, made with Lavazza beans and the Za'ater Avocado toast was delicious and also inexpensive. If the same was sold at one of those retail coffee shops, it would easily be double the price. Good food, good coffee, and reasonably priced; what's not to like about this place!

The mocha was a bit sweet but smooth and delicious. Had to get the bagel since our friend and neighbor back home in San Diego is always raving about "east coast bagels". It was good and got a good amount of cream cheese but it didn't taste any different than the bagels in San Diego!! Ha haService was fast, friendly and great. Some seating Inside. Breakfast is served till 1030.

We loved this little sandwich shop so much we went back for a second time on our week-long trip to DC. I got a sandwich that had Brie and fig jam on a nice, crusty French bread on my first visit and a vegetarian panini on my second. My dining partner loved the Miami and got it both times.The sandwiches are well-made with quality ingredients, and the folks working here are very kind. The only thing to know in advance is that seating inside is really limited, so be prepared to take it to go if it's busy.

Friendly little breakfast and lunch spot to grab a quick bite.I got oatmeal each morning as a gluten free option for breakfast. The add ons were a bit pricy if you chose a couple but the base price of the oatmeal was fair.Service was very friendly and welcoming I will be coming here again for breakfast when I'm in town.

We were looking for an inexpensive breakfast place within walking distance from our hotel. *They are closed Saturday and Sunday. Sandwiches and coffee were good. You choose the bread you want for your sandwich. They have other breakfast items if you dont want a sandwich. They also offer lunch. Service was quick.

We came here for breakfast one morning craving bagels as soon as it opened at 7:00 am. We were only in town for a work conference for a week and ended up getting our daily bagel 4/6 days! The restaurant wasn't too busy that early in the morning. It's a hidden gem right in the heart of downtown and a great spot to enjoy an amazing meal to start your day. The menu offers vegetarian options as well as substitutions. The first day I ordered just a bagel with egg and cheese, along with a double shot espresso ( they serve Lavazza here, so it was great!). The serving was extremely generous for a bagel and ended up being pretty filling! My colleagues ordered the daily special on a bagel: 3 eggs, avocado and bacon. It was huge, extremely flavorful, and they absolutely finished the whole thing! Some of them even ordered a second one! The second day I ordered the daily special as well but had them substitute the bacon for mushrooms, it was exceptionally delicious! Their service was fast and the staff extremely friendly and attentive. Overall an absolutely fantastic experience and we will definitely be coming back if in the DC area!

This is great for a quick lunch. It got very busy about 12:45 on a Wednesday but they seemed to move very quickly. The setup was a little confusing because you go to the back to order and they give you a ticket then you go to the register in the middle of the store to pay. But the cashier was very helpful and offered assistance when I was lost. I ordered the Mediterranean bowl and my name was called pretty quickly. The bowl was delicious and very filling. The cafe has limited seating but I was able to snag a seat.

The owner is very nice. I ordered online. A bit surprising was the food. Salad was thrown together with poor preparation. Money spent but food not good.

Good foodGreat varietyVery reasonable price Very close to hotelStaff friendly and helpful
